Download or read book Aristotle On Youth and Old Age Life and Death and Respiration 1 6 written by Giouli Korobili and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-06-21 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is devoted to the last part of Aristotle’s collection of short treatises known today as the Parva Naturalia, i.e. the treatise On Youth and Old Age, on Life and Death, on Respiration. In the three main sections of the book, the author offers a translation, a commentary and a thorough analysis of this work. The author argues in favour of the unity of the work and contextualises its ideas within Aristotle’s corpus and the medical tradition of his time. After an Introduction to the nature of the work and its significance for the history of natural philosophy and science, a new English translation follows, along with a detailed commentary of Chapters 1-6, which combines philosophical discussion with philological observations. The book includes four interpretive essays, which tackle problems related to the whole treatise on a more philosophical basis, including questions about the structure and unity of the work, the organisation of the material, Aristotle’s methodological principles, his aims and target audience as well as the relevance of his selected themes to the thematic agenda of some Hippocratic writings. This book is of interest to students and researchers in Aristotle’s psychophysiology, and his views about the embodied mind, as well as to anyone concerned with the history of natural philosophy and science more generally.

Download or read book Aristotle on Youth and Old Age Life and Death and Respiration written by Aristotle and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-08-08 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IN his former work Dr. Ogle gave ample proof of his competence to deal with Aristotle, both as a scholar and as a biologist. The "simple Aristotelian" might cavil at some of his readings and renderings and at his method of translation, which is rather that of a paraphrase than of a literal translation. But the "simple Aristotelian" is generally a severe and sometimes rather a pedantic critic, and the biological student, to whom rather than to the pure scholar Dr. Ogle appeals, is more likely to appreciate good and intelligible English than a verbal and therefore often obscure rendering of the Greek. In the same spirit and with the same insight into Aristotle's thought and its relation to the history of biology, Dr. Ogle has now translated some of the smaller treatises of the master, which are variously regarded by different editors as either three separate treatises on Life and Death on Youth and Old Age, and on Respiration or as variously divided sections of the same treatise. Dr. Ogle adopts the latter view. "There seems," he says, " no adequate reason for any subdivision whatever of the treatise, and it appears more consistent with its internal structure to treat it as a single work dealing with several closely connected topics." We shall not attempt to anticipate the judgment of scholars on this solution of a problem which arises in one form or another in connection with nearly every one of Aristotle's works and has been the occasion of almost endless discussion and controversy. Nor need we attempt to appreciate the merit of Dr. Ogle's translation in general or of his solution of the many critical difficulties which confront the student of every portion of Aristotle's writings. His notes seem to show that he has allowed himself considerable latitude of conjectural emendation, but questions of this kind do not concern us here. Of far greater interest to the general, and more especially to the biological, reader is the lucid and very instructive introduction on the historical relations and fate of Aristotle's theory of respiration which Dr. Ogle has prefixed to his translation and the explanatory notes of the same character with which he has accompanied it. —London Times.
Download or read book On Youth and Old Age on Life and Death on Breathing written by Aristotle and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-11-26 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Along with Plato and Socrates, Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) is one of the triumvirate of philosophers responsible for the establishment of Western philosophy as it exists today. Socrates, Plato and Aristotle were among the first to refine philosophical thought, and Socrates is credited with devising the Socratic Method as a way to argue and debate points rationally. The Ancient Greek philosophers further stressed the importance of virtue and stoicism, advocating the improvement of one's self through constant learning and knowledge. These teachings and practices formed the foundation for philosophy and psychology as fields of study. Still, Aristotle was very much his own philosopher. Though he studied at Plato's famous academy, he was not hesitant to counter or criticize Plato's philosophical stances on certain issues. Aristotle was the most renowned Ancient Greek philosopher for nearly 2,000 years

Download or read book Aristotle s Parva naturalia written by Ronald Polansky and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2024-05-20 with total page 936 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aristotle’s Parva naturalia continues the investigation begun in the De anima. The De anima defines the soul and treats its main powers, nutrition, sense perception, intellection, and locomotion. The Parva naturalia — On sense and sensible objects, On memory and recollection, On sleep, On dreams, On divination in sleep, On motion of animals (De motu animalium ), On length and shortness of life, and On youth and old age and respiration — attends more to bodily involvement with soul. While each work offers fascinating and challenging insights, there has never been as extensive a commentary covering them together. A reason is that the works have often been viewed as incidental and even inconsistent. The De motu animalium has not typically been included, when viewed as an isolated work on animal locomotion. This commentary argues that the treatises, considered together and with the De motu among them, display a tight sequence manifesting an artful, yet easily overlooked, design. We reveal many techniques of Aristotle’s writing that have received little consideration previously. Our commentary contributes to a unified and comprehensive account of Aristotle’s overall project regarding the soul and its connections with the body.

Download or read book The Architecture of the Science of Living Beings written by Andrea Falcon and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2024-06-06 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars have paid ample attention to Aristotle's works on animals. By contrast, they have paid little or no attention to Theophrastus' writings on plants. That is unfortunate because there was a shared research project in the early Peripatos which amounted to a systematic, and theoretically motivated, study of perishable living beings (animals and plants). This is the first sustained attempt to explore how Aristotle and Theophrastus envisioned this study, with attention focused primarily on its deep structure. That entails giving full consideration to a few transitional passages where Aristotle and Theophrastus offer their own description of what they are trying to do. What emerges is a novel, sophisticated, and largely idiosyncratic approach to the topic of life. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Download or read book Body and Machine in Classical Antiquity written by Maria Gerolemou and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2023-06-30 with total page 347 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative and wide-ranging volume is the first systematic exploration of the multifaceted relationship between human bodies and machines in classical antiquity. It examines the conception of the body and bodily processes in mechanical terms in ancient medical writings, and looks into how artificial bodies and automata were equally configured in human terms; it also investigates how this knowledge applied to the treatment of the disabled and the diseased in the ancient world. The volume examines the pre-history of what develops, at a later stage, and more specifically during the early modern period, into the full science of iatromechanics in the context of which the human body was treated as a machine and medical treatments were devised accordingly. The volume facilitates future dialogue between scholars working on different areas, from classics, history and archaeology to history of science, philosophy and technology.

Download or read book Three Books of Occult Philosophy written by Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2021-11-23 with total page 864 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: • Three hardcover volumes in slipcase • Corrects the many mistranslations, copyist mistakes, and errors introduced from other editions, drawing on new research and access to Agrippa’s source texts • Restores all of Agrippa’s original illustrations • Presents a nearly complete bibliography of Agrippa’s primary sources One of the most important texts in the Western magical tradition for nearly 500 years, Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa’s 1533 work Three Books of Occult Philosophy collates a multitude of sources from the Classical, Medieval, and Renaissance periods and organizes them into a coherent explanation of the magical world. Divided into three parts--the natural world, the celestial world, and the divine world--the book systematically explains the philosophy, logic, and methods of magic and astrology and how they work. The basis for 19th-century magical orders such as the Golden Dawn and a primary source for countless books on magical uses of stones, herbs, incense, and astrology, Agrippa’s many lists and diagrams have proven invaluable to magicians since the 16th century. Yet, until now, all English editions of Agrippa’s Three Books were based on the same flawed 1651 translation from the mysterious “J.F.” In this new translation from the original 1533 Latin edition, Eric Purdue corrects the many mistranslations, copyist mistakes, and errors introduced from other editions as well as restores all of Agrippa’s original illustrations. Purdue notates every correction and offers commentary, drawing on major developments in the research of older magical and astrological texts. He also presents a nearly complete bibliography of Agrippa’s primary sources, revealing Agrippa as a mainstream scholar of his day. Presenting the first new English translation of Three Books of Occult Philosophy in more than 350 years, this three-volume hardcover boxed set repairs the gaps in knowledge pervasive in the original translation and restores the magical spirit of Agrippa’s masterpiece, allowing us to hear Agrippa speak again.

Download or read book Causality and Causal Explanation in Aristotle written by Nathanael Stein and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aristotle's writings about causality and its relation to natural science are at the heart of his philosophical project, and at the origin of a 2,000-year history of inquiry into these topics. Yet for all the work done on various aspects of his thought, there has been no full-length philosophical study of his theory of causality, and some basic questions about it remain under-examined. For example, it is unclear, from what he and his commentators have said, (a) how Aristotle answers the main philosophical questions about causality to which he thinks his predecessors' answers are flawed, and (b) how his answers bear on the main questions we confront in thinking about causality in general, such that those answers could be usefully critiqued, developed, and compared with others. Nathanael Stein's book addresses these two questions. It is not a survey of Aristotle's claims, but rather focuses on a set of key conceptual, metaphysical, and epistemological questions that are important both for understanding Aristotle's responses to his predecessors and for understanding causality in general. The book thus provides the kind of philosophical engagement with Aristotle that has proven so fruitful in other domains, such as ethics and metaphysics. It also aims to contribute to a more accurate understanding of the differences between ancient and modern approaches to the natural world. This book is meant for anyone interested in philosophical theories of causation and explanation and their history, as well as those who have read Aristotle's thoughts on the topic of causality and come away wondering what it all really adds up to, and how we might engage with it.
